STOVE.

Application filed December It), 1926. Serial No. 153,781;

This invention is designed to improve stoves so as to provide a stove not only with heating efficiency buta stove of artistic appearance'. Broadly speaking in carrying out my invention I provide a stove and surround it with a casing separated from the stove shell through which airvma'y circulate, taking up the heat from the stove shell, the air so heated being discharged from the easing into the room. This moving air between the shell and the casing so insulates the casing that it may be highly finished as an article of furniture and thus its attractiveuses is much increased and also provides protected insulation around the stove. Features and details of the invention will appear from the specification and claims.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings as follows Fig. stove.

Fig. 2 a perspective view in section on the line in Fig. 1.

. Fig. 3 a section on the line 33'in Fig. 2. 1 marks the burner, 2 a back extending up- Wardly from the burner against which radiants 3 are placed, the radiants being, arranged directlyover the burner jets 4. Preferably the radiants are of the hollow type.

The stove shell is formed of a top plate5 and a downwardly extending plate 6 extending about half way down the face of the radiants and spaced therefrom. A back plate 7 extends downwardly from the top plate 5 and end plates 7 extend forwardly from the back plate to the front of the stove. The upper plate of the shell is spaced above 1 shows a perspective view of the the backin 2 leaving a passag 8 for the products of combustion and the back plate is spaced from the backin 2 forming a flue 9 for the products of com ustion communicating with the passage 8. A stove pipe 10 is placed in a perforation 11 in the back plate thus receiving the products of combustion and forming a passage therefor. A bottom plate 12 extends forwardly from the back plate 7 and thus insulates the burner from the floor. A base plate 12 extends forwardly from the burner and has a downwardly extending lip 12 at its front edge.

An outer casing is formed with a surrounding shell having a back plate 14, side plates 15, front plate 16, the front plate extending art way down the front of the stove. orner posts 17 are secured to the case at the corners and are extended to form legs 17" supporting the entire stove. The plates 14, 15 and 16 are spaced from the plates 7, 7?, and 6 respectively formingair fines 18 which are open to receive air at their lower ends and are designed to discharge air fromthe case at the upper part of the case. The rear plate 7 and the plate 14: are united by means of channels 19, the channels being arranged between the plates'and riveted'to the opposing plates.

A top 20 is arranged over the casing. It is provided with a flange 21 around its edge forming a skirt closing an opening 22 between the top edge of the plates 14, 15 and 16 and a downwardly extending passage 23 between the flange and said plates forming the final discharge for the heated air, taking the heat from the shell of the stove.

Doors 24 are hinged to the front osts of the stove and close the opening be ow the plate 16. These doors are provided with an opening 25 which is preferably provided with a screen allowing an observation of the radiant "backing and permitting the inflow of air to reach the fire. i

The dimensions and general construction may be varied but broadly speaking the invention involves the encasing'of the stove shell with insulating air passages which are provided with inlets and discharges so that air may be circulated and heated and the outer shell insulated. The exterior case may be decorated or treated to imitate wood and given any pleasing finish.

What l claim as new is 1. In a stove, the combination of a stove burner; a radiant body above the burner; a stove shell having passages collecting and discharging the products of combustion; and a case in which the shell is mounted having air spaces between the shell and the case discharging from the upper part of the case to the outer air in which the stove is placed. Y

2. In a stove, the combination of a stove burner; a radiant body above the burner; a stove shell having passages collecting and discharging the products of, combustion; and a case in which the shell is mounted having air spacesbetween the shell and the case discharging from the upper part of the case to the outer air in which the stove is placed, said case having a top forming a skirt extending below the top edges of the 3. In a stove, the combination of a stove burner; a radiant body above the burner; a stove shell having passages collecting and discharging the products of combustion; a

case in which the shell is mounted having air spaces between the shell and case discharging from the upper part of the case to the outer air in which the stove is placed; and posts secured to the corners of the case and extended to form the legs of the stove.

4:. In a stove, the combination of a stove burner; a radiant body above the burner; a stove shell having passages collecting and discharging the products of combustion; a case in which the shell is mounted having air spaces between the shell and case discharging from the upper part of the case to the outer air in which the stove is placed; posts secured to the corners of the case and extended to form the legs of the stove; and a top spaced from the top edges of the side walls of the case and having a downwardly extending flange to which the posts extend and under which the heated air from the stove is discharged.

5. In a stove, the combination of a burn er; a stove shell comprising a top plate, a downwardly extending front plate, a back plate and end plates, said plates being adapted to be spaced with regard to the burner to collect and discharge products of combustion; and a case comprising ,rear, side and front portions spaced from the stove shell, and a closed top plate spaced from said side walls through which the heated air passing the shell may discharge at the sides of the case.

6. In a stove, the combination of a burner; a radiant body abo e the burner; a stove shell comprising a top plate, a downwardly extending front plate, a back plate and end plates, said plates being adapted to be spaced with regard to the burner to collect and discharge products of combustion; a case ranged in the front of the stove; and openings in the doors.

7. In a store, the combination of a burner; a radiant body above the burner; a stove shell comprising a top plate, a downwardly extending front plate, a back plate and end plates, said plates being adapted to be spaced with regard to the burner to collect and dischargeproducts of comliustion; a case comprising rear, side and front portions spaced from the stove shell and a closed top plate spaced from said side walls through which the heated air passing the shell may discharge at the sides of the case; doors arranged in front of the stove; openings in the doors; and a screen closing the openings in the doors.

8. In a stove, the combination of a burner; radiants arranged above the burner; a backing for the radiants; a stove shell comprising a top, a downwardly extending front, a back plate spaced from the backing, a forwardly projecting bottom plate and end plates, said shell being adapted to collect and discharge the products of combustion; a base plate extending from the burner forwardly; a case extending around the shell and having an opening in the front, said case being spaced from the shell and adapted to permit the passage of air between the case and the walls of the shell; a door at the front of the case; and a flanged closed top plate spaced from the upper edges of the side walls of the case permitting of thedischarge of air past the flanges.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

EDWARD G. GERMER.
